Derek

I wish I had known how to manage my time better.

Morgan

I never learned how to study in high school. College makes you learn.

Megan

I wish I had known all the efforts I needed to put into doing well in my classes. I would have worked harder to obtain my goals. I wish I would have known who to talk to about getting connected with different groups and events so that I could meet new people and make new friends.

Helene

Football is what comes first. I would hav also liked to have known that the entering campus while under the influence rule is loosely enforced. It isn't a nice environment to be in.

Scottie

Before I actually moved in the first day, I wish I had know that there was going to be so much walking so that I could prepare and bring a bicycle. I also wish that I had know how crazy it really is on game day so that I could prepare for all the craziness I would encounter.

Joanna

My roommates are awesome and I didnt have to worry about anything. I wish i had joined the swimming club.

FIonnie

I wish i had known how big it was class wise and overall. it was quite overwelming the first day and seeing that you were in a class of 300 students. Also as a result from a such a large class size you don't have a sense of closeness with your teachers as you did in high school.

Alex

Before coming to this school, I wish I knew how important it was to make friends at the beginning of each semester so that you have others to hang out with for the rest of the semester. It is harder to make friends mid-semester than it is in the first week or two.
